'GOP Senators may vote to acquit, but there is something truly cleansing to the national conscience to see Adam Schiff walk into their chamber and shove a full dose of truth down their throats before they do,' fmr. Rep. David Jolly wrote on Twitter.

Taken together, McConnell and the White House team demonstrated that, for all of their coordination and the institutional advantages afforded them by Republicans' Senate majority, they still appear focused more on pleasing their audience of one — Trump — than persuading any undecided senators or voters outside the chamber.

At the outset, Trump's team was right on message, speaking to the president's allegation that he is the victim of Democratic political malfeasance and not the perpetrator of impeachable offenses. Trump himself mostly steered clear of his usual method of defense — social media — while at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, thoughshortly before plugging his economic achievements in a speech there.

And every pathological lie he tells with every word he speaks. This network is blinded by their biased propagandists falsehoods. Just like shifty bag of schiff

It's too bad that Trump and the GOP don't want the public of America to know the truth and what really happened. They are frozen in fear and none of them should be re-elected when the voting time comes around in a few months. REMEMBER THEIR DISHONESTY WHEN THAT TIME COMES, I WILL

The Dems can’t prove their case , such a sham. Their case are full lies, and the American people are sick and tired of it.

While they might not acquit, what goes around comes around. Trump and his minions will have hell to pay and they will wish that they would had done the right thing. It won't be pretty, but it'll satisfy the hell out of me. Wait and see.

This network has no idea what truth is. We all know your the leftist propagandists media for the democratic swamp.

Thanks for the heads up.

IM SICK OF DEMOCRATS HAVING TO COME IN AN SANITIZE AND DISINFECT THE WH CONGRESS AND SENATE AFTER THE SCUMBAG FKING REPUBLIKLANS R DONE SHITTING ALL OVER DECENCY HONOR THE AMERICAN PPL AND OUR DEMOCRACY

What?! This is truly funny. Schiff didn’t do anything. It’s the same crap they’ve been shoveling for weeks now. I thought the case was air tight and without dispute?

A full dose of BS you mean.

He has no defense, just more everyday lies.

Schiff has just been busted lying again. Real shaky...

Adam Shittff is far from shoving anything down anyone's throat other than that enormous pile manure sheep liberals are lead to believe

Adam Schiff is a traitor and a liar. every time he opens his mouth another lie comes out. PRESIDENT TRUMP for 2020

What were u watching Schiff was very uncomfortable in his seat, he was so peeved.

Oh, you never fail to give me my morning chuckle. Good one.

Shaky? This is the legal nightmare team

Flordagrl1 What would you do with $80 million?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 The demonrats are assuring that they won't hold the Presidency or Congress for at least the next three election cycles. The only question remaining is who will the Republican President be in 2024?

If the Dems wanted legitimacy they wouldn't have picked the confirmed liar to be the frontman............they dont realize just how bad schiff makes the Dems look.

This is not a trial it’s a plot party vrs the law.

You spelt bullshit wrong

What does a career politician, failed writer, or news outlet know about truth?

Lol 😅

wouldn’t recognize Truthif it bit them in their sorry a$$e$! FakeNews

All the President’s liars

Schiff and Truth do not go together. Schiff has been lying to the American people for 3 years aided by MSNBC. Fortunately there are other outlets to receive the truth and MSNBC really doesn’t matter.

Now that is Truth that is going to come out and many of you and your Pedowood Stars are going down along with Adam Schiff.

Please, they know the truth. They don't care. He is above the law, this is a sham. And it's scary as hell.

Ray Even of course connected to Billy boy...

Unfortunately it didn’t happen because you know as well as the rest of America that Schiff is a big liar and incapable of telling the truth

TrumpIsGuilty. He’s impeached now do your job and remove him let’s hear the whole truth

Is this the “full dose of truth” DavidJollyFL

Must be great living in an echo chamber where you think you’re right all the time.

LMFAO the truth from this clown 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

remindmetweets at 1901 GMT+0700

Schiff shoved s bunch of conspiracy theories on them. Of course the FakeNews would applaud that.

Omg... nothing more cleansing than taking another embarrassing L on the way to the big L in 2020. The new left. Get used to it. walkaway like I did. It’s liberating.

according to the spin team who has no game other than slanderous rhetoric, a score of highly educated, prominent government professionals all agreeing on the same notion, having the same belief, does not legal create evidence, it just prooves group think, bias

Adam Schiff and all the managers did a really great job. Thanks to them and all the hard work everyone did. True patriots

It will be nice seeing msnbc lose their fcc license for all the lies you spew!! 🖕🏻🤡

He couldn't cleanse his own ass if his life depended on it.

ScottLeMagicien I think David Jolly is fantastic.

Former Rep.😅

Sekulow a phony basket passer in Atlanta too. Hypocrites one and all. Republicans now are complicit with Trump. Cover up is PROOF of guilt.

Hard to believe Doucholini's gonna survive. McConnell will rot in hell tho. RemovePresidentDonaldTrump

THIS 👆👆👆

Schiff is a liar! He is probably the whistleblower. House impeached on hearsay. WalkAwayFromDemocrats

.. Yes but they are not showing it on foxnews... they showing it when they think it looks good to them and fits there narrative...why is foxnews not showing the full trial? They have a great deal to hide...much like the GOP and trump?

Truth? So where is the whistleblower en why haven't the records of his/her testimony been released?

Yes, yes and yes!

trump is a clown and has clown lawyers. we all saw it again today.

It was cleansing, alright. It gave me diarrhea. It sure didn't cleanse my soul. All I can think when I see Schiff are images of Ed Buck and the Standard Hotel anyway, and I don't want to imagine what he's shoving at that point. Gross. Truth is Dem = Corrupt

Childish

Schiff is a liar and has re written documents and read them to the American people as fact. He’s a disgrace.

You can't handle the truth!

🥺 I have no clue what this quote is talking about. I didn't see any of that today. I thought this whole thing was a huge disaster👎

UH DUH

Lol Adam shit lol

There will be nothing cleansing from this. There is no truth but for what Trumps followers want to believe.

Well apparently the Dems in the Senate lost a vote to the whitehouse records. I'm not surprised.

Is Jonathan Allen a pundit or news reporter? The headline and last paragraph, seems like a stenographer of DNC's talking points.

What McConnell accomplished was to show how scared they are of having evidence and witnesses appear. Why? Because McConnell has no witnesses or evidence to show innocence. ImpeachmentHearings

Now this is hilarious. Had no idea MSNBC was an “Onion”-like outfit. Well done. 👌🏼

Hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha, you are just another lying Democrat.

JuddApatow When truth doesn’t equal justice, a nation is no more under the rule of law.

Schiff is one of the most corrupt bias politicians in the House. Not one thing he has said or presented has been found to be true.

Prosecutors ?} Hey Moscow! If you and your Cult are going to continue to stonewall America, could we ask the Chief Justice of SCOTUS for his opinion? Jay Sekulow} Butt out, Chief!..........

Agree

Wow, you found the disgruntled former congressman for a comment

Unless you're completely partisan, when people think of Schiff, truth isn't the word that comes to mind.

GOPCoverup PutinsPuppets MoscowMitchCoverUp

😂😂😂😂😂

Hahahaha

Does it even matter ? They shored up the votes and will be criticized so I think they no longer care - it’s just let’s zip this up and over and then will spin the results

Hunh? McConnel WON, BITCHES 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Dem fail 9,384,028

He's lawyers are just lying just like Trump and if they don't remove his ass him and the Republican senators are definitely going to lose their seats people aren't stupid they see what's going on

Democrats looked very pathetic today. Tomorrow they get buried

realDonaldTrump legal team sucks!

Schiff lies, and today he was caught lying more. How about you do some real journalism and stop being a democrat mouthpiece.

Trump’s defense doesn’t care‼️They know cheating and lying will be the victor‼️

Fake News I don't buy it. Because I heard it myself, I trust my own discernment, I'm not bias, I don't have an agenda, I don't believe everything I hear and read and I know the real story behind all this thanks to military intel.

AdamSchiff had republicans locked out of key meetings ‘closed-door’ hearings and now he wants to have the ability to have his way in the Senate? Heh, not your Senate, not the process, Schiff. Buh-bye ... Process matters. Facts matter. Manipulators like Schiff will be found 👆

What are you smoking ?

Did you just use the word truth and Schiff in the same sentence?🤣🤣🤣

I thought this team was much more eloquent than ShiftyShiff! They made hay of TheDemocrats corrupt arguments so quickly they yielded their time almost every round. They yielded so much time that lying ewarren aka Pocahontas had plenty of time to tweet her complaints.

another day, another loss take the L You guys sure lose a lot. Democrats are the houston astros of politics. They can't even win when they are cheating.

This whole impeachment sham is distracting us from the REAL PURPOSE of what the Dem-minted party is doing. They are traitors who work for the NWO. They WANT to break down Executive Privilege, so they can use Congressional moves to destroy our nation. They WANT imbalance!

Trump impeachment trial: Here are the highlights from the first day of debate in the SenateThe battle on the Senate floor, presided over by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, largely centered around the rules that will be adopted for the trial proceedings going forward. How can anybody ever take this guy seriously? He just keeps repeating the same old diatribe. I've seen better dialogue on porn. The Democrats are a joke. They impeached with no evidence and now are complaining they can’t try to come up with evidence. There was never an investigation of wrongdoing and it’s too late to do it now. This was dead on arrival and they knew it. No reason to complain about it.
